To all lwhom it may concem-. i

Be it known that I, PIERRE BARDY o Paris, Republic of France, have invented an Improvement in Apparatus for Dispensing Liquids, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a specification, like characters on the drawings representing like parts.

This invention has for its -obj'ect to construct an apparatus for dispensing two Volumes of liquid and gas, respectively, preferably inmeasured quantities, and for mixing them at the moment of delivery whereby a measured volume of liquid may be charged, or if previously charged, may be additionally charged, with a measured volume of gas and the charged liquid dispensed, the liquid at no time coming in contact with the atmosphere until it is delivered; yet my invention is applicable to the mixing and dis ensing of two dierent liquids, instead of a fiquid and a gas.

The invention consists in a dis ensing apparatus comprising a member aving two chambers respectively adapted to receive a liquid and a gas, or it may be two different liquids, and a controlling-member for controlling the simultaneous delivery of the contents of said chambers, said controllingmember having4 a conduit or by-pass by which communication is established between the chambers when the contents thereof is being dispensed, so that, in the case of a liquid and a gas, the liquid may be charged, or if previously charged may be additionally charged at the moment of dispensation, or in the case of two different liquids they may be mixed at the momemt of dispensation.

The invention also consists in dispensing a paratus comprising a member having two c ambers respectively adapted to receive a liquid and a gas, or two different liquids as the case may be, and a controlling-mem er for controlling the supply of liquid and gas, or two different liquids to said chambers, and for also controlling the simultaneous dispensation of the contents of said chambers, said controlling-member having a conduit or by-pass by which communication is established between the chambers when the contents thereof is being dispensed.

Figure 1 shows in'longitudinal section anv alplparatus for dispensing liquidembodying t 's invention, the parts being in the position they will occupy when the apparatus is being filled. Figs. 2 and3 are sections of the same taken respectively on the dotted lines 2 2 and 3-3 Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section of the apparatus, the parts being in the position they will occupy when the contents of the chambers are being dispensed. Figs. 5 and 6 are sections of the device shown in Fig. 4, taken respectively on the dotted lines 5-5 yand 6 6. Figs. 7, 8 and 9 are sectional views of a modification to be referred to. Figs. 10, 11, 12 and 13'are sectional views of another modification to be referred to. Figs. 14, 15, 416 and 17 are sectional views of another modification to be referred to. Figs. 18, 19 and 2() arev sectional views of another modification to be referred to.

Referring to Figs. 1 to 6, a represents one of the members and bthe other member of the dispensing apparatus. The member a is made as a conically formed casing'and has a nilpple a projecting laterally from it, by wy ich it may be connected with a reservoir, not shown, containing the liquid to be dispensed. The casing a also has a nipple a2 extended laterally from it for the reception of a pipe communicating with a reservoir',`

not shown, containing gas under pressure. This gas is or may be of the same nature as that dissolved in the liquid or it may be an inert gas if the liquid is not itself gaseous. The casing a also has a delivery orifice a3 extending laterally frorn it. The casing a also has formed in its wall, preferably at a thickened part thereof, a passage a, see Fig. 4, which opens into the interior of the casing'at two different points. The member b is made as a tapering plug to fit the casing a, and said plug has two chambers b', b2, formed by boring or otherwise forming cylindrical or other shaped holes transversely through its body. These two chambers are located one above the other and in parallelism. They are so located with respect to the nipples and the delivery orifice and the openings to the passage a4, that when the plug is turned in the casing land occupies a certain position, they will communicate respectively with the reservoirs containing the liquid and gas, and at such time they will be disconnected from the passage a4 and from the delivery orifice, and therefore are isolated from each other; and when the plug is again turned in the casing they will be disconnected from the reservoirs and will'be connected with the passage a,4 and deliveryl orifice a? are shut off. When the plug isv turned into the osition shown in Flgs. 4, 5 and 6, the cham ers are disconnected from the nipples a and a2 and are connected with the openings to the passage a4 and with the delivery orifice a, and at such time the contents of the chambers will be dispensed, the gas which is contained in the chamber b2 passing throu h the passage a4 into the chamber b an forcing the contents of said chamber b out through the delivery orifice at the 'same time mixing therewith.

The pressure of as contained in the chamber b2 will cause t e liquid to flow without the outer air displacing it. The gas, if any remains in the chamber b when the li uid is dispensed will dissolve in the liquid'w 'ch neXt enters the chamber.

By means of this dispensin apparatus it is possible, while improving t eir sparkling qualities and avoiding all uselessloss or eX- penditure of gas, to supplysparkling wine, champagne, lemonade aerated waters and Spirits with gas, to which gums, sugars and other substances forA causing the foam produced at the moment of dispensing to last as long as possible, have or have not been added. The a paratus is equally applicable for li uors an Syrups, with or without the additlon of aerated waters, and, generally speaking, for liquors of all kinds regardless of their condition.

My device maybe employed for bottling purposes, it operating to deliver measured volumes to the bottles which'are being filled.

In industries in which this method of dispensing is required it is possible to dispense predetermined volumes of liquids or reagents without contact with the open air. Herein two different li uids are considered to be the equivalent of a iquid and a. gas and will be so understood.

Referring to Figs. 7, 8 and 9, the member c is fixed to a base c and has two nipples c2, c3, adapted to be connected respectively with two separate reservoirs, and has a connecting passage c4, and a delivery orifice c5; and the member d is movable. and is'mounted on said fixed member and has two chambers d', (Z2, respectively, for the liquid and gas. The movable member is rotatable on the stationob ary member, instead of within it, as shown in Figs. 1 to 6, but theoperationof the de vice is substantially the s shown in said figures. f

Referring to Figs. 1,0, 11, 1.2 and 13, e represents the stationary member and f the movable member, and said member f is rotatably mounted on or with respect to said membere, to turn in a horizontal plane, and in said member e a chamber e 1s lformed above said member f and a chamber e2 is formed below said member, and aconnecting passagJ and a delivery orifice are provided, where y the same resultsmay be obtained as are obtained by the construction shown in Fis.1to6.`

` eferring to Figs. 14, 15, 16 and 17, g represents thev stationary member and h the movable member,v and the vmember, g is formed with chambers -g g2, and the member his made as a plate, ada ted to slide horizontally, and isformed wit assages, whereby the vsame results may be .o tained as are obtained by the construction shown in Figs. 1

Referring to Figs. 18,19 and 20, lrepresents the stationary member and y' the movable member. chambers, i for the'gasand '112 forthe liquid, see dotted lines, also an inlet orifice 'is to the gas chamber and an inlet orifice i4 to the liquid chamber, also an outlet orifice 'i5 for the gas chamber and an outlet orifice t for is as the devicev The member fi, has two the liquid chamber, and also a delivery orifice 'i7 with the liquid cham er i2. The member j is made as a sector which is'fitted in a suitably shaped recess in the stationary member. It is ivoted at its lower enel to the stationary mem er and its pivot j projects forward and its end is exposed to receive a key by which it may be turned. It has an orifice jz adapted to 'register with the inlet orifice L3 and an orifice ja adapted to register with the inlet orifice i, and a slot 7'4 adapted to establish communication between the orifices i5 and i, and an orifice j5 adapted to register with the delivery orifice i". When the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 19, the supplies are connected with the chambers and the outlet orifices and the delivery orifice are closed, and at such time the device is filled,

eading from a assage communlcatingand when the parts are in the position shown in Figs. 18 and 20, the supplies are shut ofi and the outlet orifices and the delivery orian arranged to operate with respect to each other to obtain the results set forth by the construction. shown in Figs. 1 to 6.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is n 1. An apparatus fordispensin'g liquids having two chambers adapted to receive respectively a liquid and a gas, and a delivery orilice, and means for connecting the two chambers together and for also connecting one of y them only with the delivery orifice, whereby the contents of one chamber lwill be discharged through the other chamber, substantially as described. y v
